I'm trying to install Tomcat 4.1.24-2 from the unstable section, and I'm running into a wall. It depends on "j2re1.4" or "java2-runtime", neither of which seems to exist. I have installed the Sun JDK 1.4.1_02 manually, so there actually is a Java 1.4 runtime, and I installed the "java-common" package, but I don't know how to get around this unmet dependency. Do I need to make a dummy package? I've never packaged anything before, either .deb or .rpm, and while I'd like to learn, a project deadline looms near.
You can try getting the Blackdown runtime in .deb format, which satisfies the dependency:
deb http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.blackdown.org/java-linux/debian unstable main non-free
When I installed tomcat last week, I installed j2sdk1.3 and it worked fine.
Otherwise, if you don't want to do this, check out the 'equivs' package. You can use it to build a dummy package to provide java2-runtime, effectively telling dpkg that you already have it installed.
